Within the limits of comparability, studies made in five cities (Kansas City, Milwaukee, Omaha, St. Louis, and Peoria) show the same tendency to cases of mental disorder, as measured by commitments, to concentrate in interstitial areas. When mental disorders are separated into their subdivision, the same general conclusions as those mental disorders are separated into their subdivisions, the same general conclusions as those reached by Faris and Dunham in their study of Chicago may be drawn, though in this study this conclusion is not so clear as in the concentration of the total number of commitments.
